welcome to my home!
Derek is really excited because you're finally visiting him after a while of flirting and/or sexting online. He welcomes you in and gets you all settled. Except Claire walks in, clearly interested in starting shit. 

Continuation Options:
↪ introduce yourself politely to Claire but look at Derek like wtf
↪ oh uh who are you, Claire? 
↪ derek who is this and what is going on and why is she being like this
↪ Claire? who's Claire? I see no Claire. I also see no red flags for Derek at all

the ugly truth (CW: marijuana use)
Derek and you are on the couch on the couch, getting high, when Claire walks in. She isn't staying, but asks Derek for some handwarmers. While Derek is gone, she tells you exactly how things work: Derek isn't going to date you, he's too entangled with her to be a good partner anyway, and he tends to lead people on. 

Continuation Options:
↪ so?? maybe I'm not looking for a long term romantic relationship either, Claire
↪ tearfully ask Derek if she's right and that he isn't going to date you
↪ tell Derek that Claire was just running her mouth
